Changes in previous release
Servoy 4.1.0 rc 1

chg] removed anchoring support for web client for 4.1

Can someone explain, why this is removed?

I would assume it was because there were still too many issues with different browsers and elements not floating or anchoring as expected.

We tried to use it with it being turned on and found it wasn't ready for prime time. There were too many items not behaving as one expected. I hope that many of these issues can be resolved as it is a feature in the WebClient that would be nice to have.

RC2 seems to have damaged a solution method I have which works in rc1 (I've had to revert to rc1 to continue to work). It is a global startup method which, among other things does:

function startup_method()
{
globals.g_my_username = security.getUserName()
etc.
etc.
}

When I start my solution in rc2, I get no value for globals.g_my_username despite logging in successfully as normal. Is this an issue on my end or something that has changed in Servoy 4.1?

Thanks

same here, seems like all the 'security' functions don't work anymore.

We found the problem as well. It will be fixed in the next release.

Phew...!!!

Weird, my login code works fine:

Code: Select all

var _success = security.login(vUsername, _ds.getValue(1,1), ['sintpro'])

and also security.logout() works ok, the issue must be confined to some other functions, Sandor, can you confirm this? Can I keep using RC2 or should I downgrade to RC1 if only using those functions?

The problems with security not working as expected occur in smart client only and then only when opening a second solution.

Any chance of squeezing in these features:

1- createMethod() on the SolutionModel node (to create global methods) and on the SolutionModel.JSForm node:

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=11619

2- Grab method names:

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=11611

Unless I am missing something we're currently restricted to previously created methods to assign to actions -- and we have to know the method names.

Hi,
not sure how to do this, or if it is a feature request like David's, but is it possible/can you add the ability to Duplicate things, like a relationship or a calculation, that then pops up or opens something to allow you to change the name of whatever and then adjust the values/parameters...?

Thanks,

Have you checked out Troy's code? Shows you how to deconstruct a form and put it back together. Not all the objects are implemented but should be enough to give you the idea:

Hi David,
I hadn't seen that...
I will have a look (when I get the chance ), but I was hoping for a quick & easy way of just, say, right-clicking on a relationship and duplicating it.
But, once I get to grips with Eclipse better and examine Troy's code, maybe I can use that to do duplications.

Thanks,
